"While you can read a master feed of everyone you follow on Mastodon, your social feed runs on one individual server." is a terrible way to try and explain #decentralization, or what #Mastodon is:
"If you want a Mastodon account, you must set one up on a specific server." reads as if not literally every single internet service that has to host data worked in the exact same way. Weird emphasis there, since that's not at all what makes Mastodon different, or unique.
"If you don't like the server you signed up for, you can move your followers to a new server." is finally an atempt at explaining #ActivityPub, but it's buried way down in the article.

Found an excellent article on what it means to be a decentralized networks. With #Bluesky getting popular, the reality of its focus as a company shouldn't go unnoticed. Enshittification is real. 🫠 But not immediate.
I'm still very much a believer on #ActivityPub. And even #nostr to a degree. 😅 We need true to word decentralized networks to keep up against the corps. Otherwise, it's a repeat of history. ⚰️

please follow @ap.brid.gy so that people on #mastodon and other #ActivityPub services can communicate with you. we become immune to billionaire takeover when all the networks work together and it's easy to switch and stay connected. thanks.

Interesting discussion about interoperability between #Bluesky and #ActivityPub (used by #Mastodon and #Threads). Threads already announced plans for full two way federation.

@pongo «this is a well-established tactic for corporations like BlueSky to snuff out community-driven "competition".
They're trying to kill us off.
First they embrace the enemy technology (this is where Bluesky supports federation), then they extend its functionality to where people depend on your add-ons (say if they extended ActivityPub by something like emoji reactions), and then they use that leverage to extinguish the competition»

^ more and more problems with this, will continuously edit.
Seems to be trivial but is the opposite.

Esteemed #Fediverse –
I missed an important #ActivityPub #Spec issue which is now "fixed" but _might_ even be more misleading.
I'm sorry and stressed.
Mabe I could not make the initial point clear.
So, hopefeully this comment is well-understandable https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/issues/522#issuecomment-2495879714 (?)

Liebes #Fediverse –
leider hatte ich eine github Nachricht zur #ActivityPub #Spezifikation verpasst.
Nun ist es gefixt aber alles womöglich noch irreführender, wegen der Beispiele in den Spezifikationen :(
Könnt Ihr mal schauen?

i don't know why i'm so into #fedi nonsense right now instead of playing video games, i feel like video games would be way better uspol copium and i assume that's what's going on, but here you go, more fedi nonsense from me:
On #Bluesky a “block” and a “follow” are both things that are owned by individuals. I can block you, and I own (and publicly declare) that block, but I can't impact your “follow”. You own that, and I can't touch it.
So that was all very interesting but it made me realize I don't actually know how blocks work in a Masto-alike (or #ActivityPub generally) network.
